I write to you today from mid air as I am flying from Saint Louis in route to Courtenay, British Columbia in Canada for PGA Tour Canada Q school May 5-8 ( www.pgatourcanada.com ) I am in good spirits and have been working my tail off to get better. That's all we can do in business. Strive to get better each day. I last left you with my new 2/3rds guideline principal and desire to play more flatlined, with complete acceptance of my shot outcomes. Well, that first tournament out I did an A+ job of doing just that.

 I had many opportunities to get down, but I stayed the course and gutted out a 13th place finish in Alexandria, Louisiana on the Adams Tour. My -9 total was one of my lowest aggregate totals as a professional. Tangible proof that I'm working on the right things physically and mentally. I took about a month off after that tournament to get ready back at home for Canada. I continue to have an outcome goal as stated earlier in the year to get inside the PGA Tour system and then work my way up the ranks.

Another great opportunity in that regard presents itself this upcoming week. I am more equipped than ever to handle it as I know deep down I am finally in the right place mentally and physically. My 2/3rds guiding principal has given me great feedback over the previous couple months on what is working and needs continual improvement. I still am pushing to drive my chipping up & down numbers up, and have been working remarkably efficiently at improving that area. I've made some great short game tweaks that are getting me closer to constant greatness. 2/3rds gives me that buffer for error acceptance and really frees my mind from the evils of striving for perfection.

I will be able to get 2 great days to prepare myself for the week ahead in Canada. I'm finally playing fearless golf and I truly am buying in and believing in my system. Call it maturity, call it confidence, I know my time is coming in this game. Not to look too far ahead, but May is a busy month for me. Right after Canada I return home for a week to compete in the first stage of US Open qualifying at my home course of Norwood Hills. So excited to tee it up competitively for the first time at my home track. The following two weeks I have secured starts on the PGA Tour Latin America in Guatemala and Honduras. ( www.pgatourla.com ) Wonderful opportunity awaits me and I'm blessed and excited for the competition that presents itself this month and beyond. Stay right here for updates. Great things are coming.
